Category 3

Introduction

Welcome to Praise Chapel, an advocate for fostering better public understanding of religion and cultural engagement. We are excited to share the incredible grant opportunity offered by the prestigious Lilly Endowment, designed exclusively for museums and other cultural organizations.

It is crucial to bridge this knowledge gap and foster a deeper appreciation for different religious traditions to promote inclusive communities and interfaith understanding.
